[QUOTE="Serving Zion, post: 71849412, member: 387004"] Thanks for this. It is frivolous use of the phrase "racism" upon one simple fact: had the wall been between Canada and USA, Pres. Trump would not have perceived the same conflict of interest with this judge. Whether it is fair to impose this judgement upon Judge Curiel is another issue, one that provokes jealousy at an opportunity to cry foul for discrimination based upon ethnic identity. That has to be a subjective decision by considering his character (eg: past performance & experiences, present attitudes & activities). Given that Judge Curiel is a member of an organisation that advances the interests of a racial group, it shows that there is some existing commitment toward serving the interests of that racial group. Exactly how likely this is to have an impact upon the case is speculative too, because it depends upon the relevance of the organisation's interests to the people of Mexico, and how it is envisaged that the wall will impact the interests of those people. Underlying Pres. Trump's distrust was a fear that human sin (wrath) might be given an opportunity to manifest in Judge Curiel as spite, through racial grievances that are not directly relevant to the case, in order to punish one that is taking action in such a way that aggravates the racial grievances of the group he is committed to serve. To think this way is to assume the judge will be unable to exercise self-control over a real and present temptation to sin, that would result in favouritism and miscarriage of justice. This, again, is probably an indication of Mr. Trump having been heavily immersed in a culture where this type of sin was thought normal behaviour in business, before having taken office as President. (Consider Titus 1:15). I also need to say that building a wall is not a Christian action for resolving problems God's way (consider Luke 6:29, Romans 12:20, 1 Corinthians 3:17). Having said that, Pres. Trump is not elected to represent a nation of exclusively Christian people. Pres. Trump has determined that a wall is a worthwhile investment in his view, to protect those who do not receive God's sovereignty. But building the wall does not contribute a positive psychological advance upon a culture that already is grieved by it's neighbour's regard for it. It could, in fact, cause escalated tensions. But I do not have the inner knowledge of those relationships (as a foreigner), so I am only speaking generally of human behavioural tendencies. Anyhow, I had already said that I do not wish to continue judging this matter. I am grateful that you acted to provide the information that you thought beneficial. [/QUOTE]
